I just woke up from a black snake dream. I couldn't see any characteristics of it, but I could tell it was black and long. It came from the ceiling in my room and slid down a ladder and slid away very fast. My mom and I were trying to catch it, but it was too fast. I got scared and woke up. I have no idea what this dream means...

I don't have a ladder in my room and earlier in the day I was doing a major clean up in my room.

If you have a snake in a dream, it could mean that you’re dealing with a difficult situation or have unsettling emotions in your life. But in a positive way, it could also mean that healing and transformation are taking place.

The black snake symbolizes something black
and snakey.

The ladder symbolizes a laddery thing.

Trying to catch it symbolizes that you will agonize over the meaning of this dream.

Waking up scared is a warning that agonizing over the meaning of this dream is a waste of time and you have better things to do.

If God has a sign He wishes to give you, He will also ensure that you get the point, one way or another.

Hi,

It is really hard to tell if this dream was from God or not. I know I have heard dreams before and thought "Oh that can't be God", only to find out latter it did have some meaning.

I will give some thoughts, but they may be wrong.

The fact that the snake came down a ladder may suggest the following. In the bible Jacob had an encounter with God, where he saw angels ascending and descending a stair case, or ladder. The ladder in your dream may represent that Satan is trying to come to you in a form that will seem like God (descending from heaven). It may be a warning to be aware that not everything that seems like God actually is.

2Co 11:14-15 And it is no wonder. Even Satan tries to make himself look like an angel of light. So why does it seem strange for Satan's servants to pretend to do what is right?

All that said I would not obsess about my meaning as it may be 100% wrong. Just be relaxed, continually pray, and if your dream has a meaning, God will make it clear.

It has always been said in my family that if you dream of snake/snakes it is the enemy . Count the snakes in your dream and that will be the no. of enemies waiting to conspire on you . This is just a native American saying .

i have had only one dream in which i found a snake in it.

the dream starts out with me wandering around in a building. the building is sort of like an MC Escher drawing.
In the dream, i basically call BS on it, i was looking for an exit, but there was none.

immediately after calling bs on the dream, i am now sitting at a table, with some other people, who are complaining to me that their refrigerator is possessed.*
I get up from the table, open the door, pull out the bottom drawer (this is all done instinctively so to speak) and in the bottom drawer is some water.

in the water is a manifestation of a serpent. meaning, the serpent had no physical form, the water was taking the form of a serpent, slashing about in the water.

i say to the serpent "i command you to die in the name of Jesus Christ" and at that moment the manifestation of the water in the form of a snake turns into something like a tree root, but dead.
I pick up the dead tree root, open a window, and dump it. the dream ended at that instant.


anyhow. i hope you found that amusing, honestly its one of the more hilarious dreams i've ever had. but you need to ponder why you didn't call upon God in the dream. that is not to accuse you, but rather plant the seed that you can deal with a dream, while you're in the dream. no need to pray about it after you wake up.


as for the theology that dream presented, of course its not real. the demons are already dead, cannot be killed again.

*i have had to deal with real people in real life who insist their house, car, (no, not refrigerator, but nothing would supprise me) is possessed. i have had enough weird stuff happen i know better than to tell them they are possessed. so instead, you have to sit and reason with them, ask them in great detail exactly what they experienced, ask the difficult questions, etc.
